Not only the historic old town of Freinsheim is worth seeing. You can also make interesting discoveries on the three circular hiking trails around Freinsheim through orchards and the sea of vines.

Additionally there are also beautiful tours that take you a little further away from Freinsheim, even into the nearby Paltinate Forest. That's why we also suggest circular routes here, which either start from Freinsheim or pass through Freinsheim on their way. 

We have listed the individual trails below, the details of the trails are linked directly. However, you can also view a complete overview right away.
Some tours are not signposted separately. So that you don't lose your way on the spot, we recommend the official and free tour planner app of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Just download it and get started (download manual in German language only).
